Maine scores 24 seconds later. Tie game 1-1. 7:30 left in the 1st period.

BC scores on the PP. They are up 1-0 vs. Maine. Seems to be a lot of penalties being taken.

There playing right now. And if BC does win, I think your right that it'd actually be better for UND to lose. It'd increase the chances of being placed in the St. Paul Regional with I'm assuming Wisconsin.

I'm hoping Maine wants to win it more so than BC. I believe winning against BC is Maine's only way of making the NCAA tournament. If BC loses and the Sioux win, we get the #4 seed and most likely placed in the St. Paul Regional with St. Cloud. BC being the #6 seed will still be placed in the Worcester Regional.

If BC loses to Maine and we win against St. Cloud we can be #4. What has been said is if this happens, BC will drop to #6 and UND/St. Cloud will most likely be put in the St. Paul Regional. The other scenario is having us still in the Worcester Regional looking like this: 1. BC 2. UND 3. Michigan 4. Alaska Needless to say, I'll be cheering for Maine and hoping the Sioux can pull off a 3rd win in three days.

Hunter Bishop, sophomore for Ohio State and former Fighting Sioux forward signed a 2-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=521828 Thought he deserves an honorable mention.

Gosh maybe the Sioux are a bunch of hacks, thugs, and goons? In seriousness, glad he was okay.

The stat was that it had been a 20-game drought for Trupp until tonights goal.

Honestly, I think Gregoire could make the jump. He's been a complete player for us. Whether on the PP, PK or 5x5. But I don't mind at all if the Islanders want Gregoire to play another year at UND.

Sweet victory! Little payback for UMD bouncing us in the Final Five last year. How this game was won was almost identical to how UMD won against us last year in the Final Five. They won last year by scoring a shorthanded goal then an even strength goal and then capped it with a empty netter. Sioux almost did the same thing but just didn't get that ENG. Quite ironic. Bring on Denver, LET'S GO SIOUX!!!

Before FSSN invests in a PP timer they should put up a counter for how many times Hakstol smiles or shows any kind of emotion.

Has this dude ever watched a hockey game in his life, let alone one with the Sioux playing? Hakstol rarely shows emotion. And the most famous time that Hakstol did show emotion, he did so by flipping a ref off.

So as an attempt to move on from the Frattin suspension and the Gopher series I'll post here saying... Let's beat some Bulldogs on Thursday!!

This didn't come as a surprise to me. It sucks since he has just been a huge contributor to this team. Ah well, Frattin just needs to serve the suspension and then get ready to get on the ice again.

Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEXHeTcxQy4 The Chicago Blackhawks use it as their goal music as well. What a coincidence.

Yep, and collegehockeystats.net lists the Friday semifinal game vs. Denver at 7:07pm.

Denver as the top-seed gets the night game on Friday. Wisconsin-St. Cloud will be in the afternoon on Friday. I'm pretty sure...

Let's have a good 2nd period. GO SIOUX!!!

Faceoffs are 14-4, advantage Sioux. Good to see that!

I dunno. You crazy! ....

Sioux games are on Midcontinent channel 23 for cable subscribers in Minot.

I agree, I wouldn't mind getting some Hockey East or even ECAC refs. I remember when opposing fanbases would say the Sioux are going to be penalized like crazy cause of non-league refs in the NCAA Tournament. Yet it the Sioux played just fine with non-league refs.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm disappointed but it's better to happen now than in a single-elimination game.

And when the whole Gopher bench is in uproar for the call. I'm not really down on this loss. Sioux just gotta come out tomorrow and put the Gophers in their place.

I like your line of thinking! GO SIOUX!!
